Resonant Swamp Ash Body for Deep, Rich Lows
The Reaper-4’s swamp ash body is both lightweight and resonant, allowing bass frequencies to bloom with richness and depth. The addition of a poplar burl veneer not only enhances the visual appeal of the bass but also contributes to its tonal warmth. These carefully selected tonewoods work together to produce tight, focused lows that are perfect for both fingerstyle and slap techniques. The natural resonance of the body ensures that you can achieve a full, dynamic sound with minimal effort, making this bass an ideal choice for any playing style.
Reinforced Maple Neck for Enhanced Stability and Playability
The maple neck of the Reaper-4 is reinforced with walnut stringers and carbon fiber rods, providing unparalleled stability and preventing warping. This construction offers a sturdy platform for your fretting hand, ensuring consistent performance gig after gig. The thin C-shaped profile delivers a comfortable and familiar feel, while the smooth ebony fingerboard, combined with a 34" scale length and jumbo frets, allows for easy and precise playability. Whether you're performing fast runs or intricate passages, the Reaper-4 is built to support your playing style.
Versatile Schecter USA Pickups for Dynamic Tone
The Reaper-4 is equipped with a Schecter USA M-40 bridge pickup and a P-40 neck pickup, both voiced to capture the full tonal spectrum of the bass. The M-40 bridge pickup delivers tight, focused lows and cutting mids, making it ideal for aggressive playing styles. The P-40 neck pickup produces warm lows and singing highs, perfect for achieving a rounded, fingerstyle tone. By blending these versatile, high-output pickups, you can craft a tone that is perfectly tailored to your needs, making the Reaper-4 capable of handling any genre with ease.
